The prince gave a faint smile when he noticed Oleander turn around and face Shara, who had decided to stop hiding herself. He still didn't understand entirely how she could hide, considering he saw her use no spectral energy in the slightest.
But that was a question for later.
For now, he had an opponent in front of him that he needed to beat.
To him, everything seemed to happen at a speed far slower than it actually did. He saw the world move at a snail's pace, giving him enough time to react to anything he had noticed.
It was unfortunate that his speed too was at a snail's pace, but just the ability to start dodging earlier than many expected was an advantage that he couldn't give up on.
The prince wished he had dropped his current set of powers and taken something new. Because of the necessity back in the war camps, he had kept his new powers. He had thought he would keep them for a long time as well, but now in a life-or-death battle, the powers seemed lacking.
